Another View Of the Gase--And Our
answer.
Mr. EDrroR:

Mr. EDITOR:
Your criticism in late issue of the
COURIER, on the legislation affecting
the graduates of normal school
courses, was, as we think, unfair. In
the first place, it has tendency TO
prejudice the public mind agalnst
such graduates, or even those teach
ers who have attended said schools
without completing any course.
OF course there are comparatively
few normal teachers In the county,
but these few have just as good
right to justice as though there were
hundred. True directors are not
compelled to employ such teachers,
nor would we advocate their EMPLOY
ment, should they prove incompe-
tent. But are they proving incom-
petent? We leave this question to
be answered by those who have en-
ployed them and are not afraid of
results
We would be the last one to say,
''starve the county commissioner. :"
Let us make his an office with suf11-
cient labor to employ all his time,
and sufficient salary to make him a
living. But in the light of reason
let US not have him examine teach
ers just simply that he may live, and
thus disobey the first principles of
government, viz: "The object of all
true government is the good of the
governed and not the good of the
officers.
We feel safe in saying that at
least 80 per cent. of students COM
pleting either course in the normal
school of our state, are granted GER
tifcates for either two years or a
lifetime by the state superintendent
Shall we claim that a county Ger
tificate is superior to state certi-
icate?
These certificates require an ex-
animation on twenty-e:ght different
branches; and the normal of the
second district requires an average
grade of 80 per cent. before any
student can complete the two years
course. Besides this, the faculty
consists of nine competent teachers,
each one of which must be satisfied
that every candidate for graduation
possesses sufficient knowledge and
ability to teach every subject, for
which these certificates call, and
must indicate the same by signing
every certificate granted.
We believe every question has two
sides, and we believe our side Of this
has at least the semblance of reason.

Chariton courier. (Keytesville, Chariton County, Mo.) 1878-current, 1887-04-28

The above answer TO crl6lclsm
of the law passed by the late legisla-
ture, was written by worthy young
teacher, who has right to be heard,
and for that reason we give him suf-
ficient space to present his side of
the case.
Those who read the article win re-
member, that our charge against the
law, giving one holding certificate
of graduation from a normal school,
was, that ssit (the law) was both sill
Iy and unjust" Silly because it
presupposed that graduates from
normal schools were better qualified,
as teachers than graduates of other
schools in the state, including the
State University, Washington Uni
versity, Central College, Lewis Col
lege, Pritchett Institute, Westminster
College, William. Jewell College
and others too tedious to mention.
1t was unjust because of Its rob-
blng poorly paid officer, the county
school commissioner, of small fee
that IS his due when. he examines q
teacher.
Again, we might.have said, it is un-
| just because of its discriminating
against worthy class of students
who work longer and delve deeper
for knowledge they obtain than does
the normal student, because their
curriculum is more thorough thar
that of the normal student, and t.
finish the course prescribed requires
] a greater outlay of brain power
time and money.
Again, we might have said tha
the law presupposes that a nor
NAL student may, by training, be de
j veloped into successful teacher, a
though the training would give th
necessary amount If brains or i'm
part any new faculties to the mind
that would enable him to suceec
where others fail. The truth is, W
believe, the successful teacher .
born" not amade," according to tt
2 normal idea. If he has the necessaI
endowments and wants to teac
he will do so and, be successful IS
teacher, if he has not these. it
: wrong to urge him to undertake tll
for which he is not fitted by na.ur
:
I nor can he be fitted by promised d
velopment. 1t is true, as our you
friend says, that many teachers he
state certificates from the state $
perintendent OF schools, which b
exempted them from an exarninatI
y. by the the county commissioner, b
- the existence OF this fact does
- make lie law just. We believe
treating all alike. Who originat

pie representatives in the state i
